Fiery violin and guitar duo to perform in Morgan City

International duo Alex DePue and Miguel DeHoyos will transport concert-goers on a wildly eclectic and virtuosic tour of classical and popular repertoire at Morgan City Municipal Auditorium in Morgan City at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 17.
Tickets will be available at the door or by calling 985-385-2307. Adult season ticket price is $45 and students (K-12) price is $10.
DePue is the youngest sibling of the famed “DePue Brothers,” who have built their fame as bluegrass musicians on conspicuously successful classical music careers.
Precocious as a youth, DePue achieved top honors in youth violin competitions and national fiddle contests. He is making his own genre-bending mark on the family’s legacy appearing with Steve Vai, Nashville recording artist Chris Cagle, and in his duo project with Mexican guitarist DeHoyos.
DePue and DeHoyos have performed with the Philadelphia Symphony and were feature performers at the International Bluegrass Music Association’s Grand Master Fiddler Championships (2009). They have recorded two albums for the Spontaneous Records label.
